Описание: Revolution: Russian Art, 1917-1932 encapsulates a momentous period in Russian history that is vividly expressed in the diversity of art produced between 1917, the year of the October Revolution, and 1932 when Stalin began to suppress the avant-garde and its debates. Based around the great exhibition of 1932 held at the State Russian Museum in Leningrad, the book explores the fascinating themes and artistic developments of the first fifteen years of the Soviet state, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, posters, graphics and film. The exhibition itself was to be the swansong of avant-garde art in Russia: new policies quickly ensured that Socialist Realism - collective in production, public in manifestation and Communist in ideology - was to become the only acceptable art form. This volume is a timely and authoritative exploration of how modern art in all its forms flourished, was recognised, celebrated, and broken by implacable authority all within fifteen years.

Название: Mexico: A Revolution in Art, 1910-1940ISBN: 1907533303 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781907533303Издательство: Thames & HudsonЦена: 3621 р. Наличие на складе: Есть (4 шт.)Описание: In the first half of the twentieth century Mexico was home to a burgeoning of art comparable in energy to the political revolution that shook the country between 1910 and 1920. This surge of artistic activity is the subject of this compelling new book, which presents the work of Mexican artists – from the social-realist painters Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros to the photographers Agustin Jimenez and Manuel Alvarez Bravo – alongside that of their international contemporaries who visited Mexico in search of inspiration, political sympathies or an alternative way of life, figures as diverse as Philip Guston, Josef and Anni Albers, and Edward Burra. Illustrated with some 150 striking images, Adrian Locke’s incisive text explores the artistic documentation of the dramatic changes wrought by the revolution, the government’s role in employing artists to promote its reforms, the emergence of a native modernism, and the remarkable contribution of European and American artists and intellectuals, including Eisenstein, Trotsky and Andre Breton, to Mexico’s cultural renaissance.

The history of revolution is as old as humanity; yet it is only since the invention of photography that we have been able to discern the realities of these conflicts from the distance of time.

Описание: A survey of the responses made by artists to the cataclysmic events of war and revolution in France during 1870 and 1871. It investigates not only what the

Описание: In this wide-ranging study, David Craven investigates the extraordinary impact of three Latin American revolutions on the visual arts and on cultural policy. The
three great upheavals - in Mexico (1910-1940), in Cuba (1959-1989), and in Nicaragua (1979-90) - were defining moments in 20th-century life in the Americas. Craven discusses the
structural logic of each movement's artistic project - by whom, how, and for whom artworks were produced - and assesses their legacies.

In each case, he demonstrates how
the consequences of the revolution reverberated in the arts and cultures far beyond national borders. The volume not only examines specific artworks originating from each revolution's
attempt to deal with the challenge of "socializing the arts", but also the engagement of the working classes in Mexico, Cuba and Nicaragua with a tradition of the fine arts made newly
accessible through social transformation. Craven considers how each revolution dealt with the pressing problem of creating a "dialogical art" - one that reconfigures the existing artistic
resource rather than one that just reproduces a populist art to keep things as they were.

In addition, the author charts the impact on the revolutionary processes of theories
of art and education, articulated by such thinkers as John Dewey and Paulo Freire. He discusses the view of the Latin American revolutionaries, from artists to political leaders, who
defined art as a fundamental force for the transformation of society and who bequeathed new ways of thinking about the relations among art, ideology, national culture, revolution and
class.
